1、比如,有的词虽然意思相同,但他们表达同一个意思的程度是不同的;有的英语单词的汉语意思相同,但他们所限定修饰的词、使用的范围或者连接的成分是不同的;有的单词的文体风格不同,有正式和非正式之分。要注意自己写文章的总体风格,在正式文体中避免使用非正式的语言。鉴于选词的难度,考生应在平时注意多查词典,注意其中所举得例句,在看英语材料时留心写作词汇的具体使用环境,并摘录一些自己能看明白但说不出的表达。1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.Revised: Bill Gates ga
2、ve a definitive answer: college education does count.Definite意思是“明确的”、“一定的”,指意思明确,不会误解;definitive也是“明确”的意思,但往往指“权威性、最后决定的”。此话出自比尔盖茨之口,体现权威性,故将definite改为definitive。2、Original: people may attend a university or college for various reasons. people attend university or college for a multitude of reasons
3、.此处将various改为短语a multitude of更为正式,体现人们读大学的原因很多。3、Original: The kinds of education that we got on school are formal and intense ones. The kinds of education that we receive at school is formal and of tentimes very intense.不必用kinds of education,直接用education(教育)即可;“受教育”不同get,改为receive;“在学校”不必用at school
4、;把one去掉,用oftentimes very intense指出学校教育常常是非常严格的。4、Original: They can foster their interests in some fields to make life more colorful and meaningful. They can even pick up hobbies to make life more colorful and enjoyable.Foster their interests是“培养兴趣”,此处用pick up hobbies(开始各种各样的兴趣)更为合适;不同的兴趣是我们生活的调味剂,使
5、我们的生活多姿多彩,乐趣无穷,把meaningful换成enjoyable,与colorful搭配更合适。5、Original: Needless to say, more employment means more income and less idle life, so that people can enjoy a better life and make investment in their future. Needless to say, more employment means income and less idle time, so that people can enj
6、oy a better life and invest in their own futures.把idle life改为idle time更为合适,表示“闲散时间”;make investment可改为动词invest,与and前的动词enjoy词性一致;人们各自有自己的未来,故将in their future改为in their own futures。6、Original: Another important factor that contributes to the extension of life expectancy is the development of medical
7、science. Another imortant factor that contributes to the rise in life expectancy is the development of medical science.“人的寿命的延长”可以表示为life extension,但是如果用life expectancy,则要用the increast of 或the rise in life expectancy。7、Original: the growth of life span. the rise in/increase of life span.Life span意思是
8、“寿命”,growth指“生长,增长”,“寿命的延长”用growth不合适,life span“寿命的延长”可以用rise in/increase of/extension of.8、Original: energy saving energy efficiencyEnergy saving一般作定语,此处名词短语“节能”最好用energy efficiency。9、Original: with the increasing complicatedness of the job profile with the increasing complexity of the modern jor p
9、rofileComplicatedness意思是“错综复杂”,但是这种错综复杂是有逻辑的;complexity也是“复杂”的意思,但这种复杂是杂乱无辜的,现代的工作情况用complexity较为合适。10、Original: Such experience will difinitely be helpful in childrens later life. Such experience will benefit them later in life.Helpful是“提供帮助”的意思,而benefit是“使受益”。这里作者想说的是孩子将来的人生会受益于这样的经历,用benefit合适,因为
10、这样的经历不一定能对孩子将来的人生提供什么具体的帮助。11、Original: In my submission, people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Because of these circumstances, I believe it is inevitable that people must do what they dont enjoy doing.In ones submission虽然也可以表示某人所持的观点,但是这是一种非常formal(正式)的表述,用在这里和整体文章的风格不太相符。
11、12、Original: For no one can promise what will happen in the future, if you dont save some money, an emergency will probably make you a cat on a hot brick. Because no one can predict the future, if you dont save money an unforeseen emergency can be financially crippling.Promise的意思是“承诺、允诺”,用在这里不合适,作者要
12、说的是没有人能与之未来发生的事,应该用predit。还有,作者在这里用了一个惯用语a cat on a hot brick,这又有一个错误。第一,这个表述本身有错误,正确的应该是like a cat on hot bricks。第二,这个惯用语的意思是“忐忑不安,如热锅上的蚂蚁“,用在这里意思也不太合适。新东方网为您带来新东方老师总结的托福写作词汇使用常见错误修订(二)。(二)固定搭配问题适当地使用固定搭配(如固定短语)可以使文章表达流畅、到位,考生应在平时阅读范文或其他材料时,注意摘录一些固定搭配,表明他们的用途范围,并在练习写作中留意固定搭配。当然,记忆一定要准确,特别要注意固定搭配中所使
13、用的词性、词形等。 .there is no deny that a university or college really offers us great enlightment for students future development and growth. . there is no denying that a university diploma really offers great opportunities for students personal growth.there is no deny改为固定搭配there is no denying“不可否认”。原句中还存
14、在表达不当的问题,应该是大学文凭给学生们的个人发展提供了很多机会。 Modern technologies have improved todays factories technology and brought pollutions to the minimum. However, with the modern technology, air and noise pollution can be kept to a minimum.“降到最低程度”是to a minimum。 If you want to catch the pace of the rhythms of the modern world you had better get ready. If you want to keep pace with the rhythms of the modern world, you had better get up early.原句catch up with the pace的搭配是不对的,如果表述“和现在世界的快节奏同步”可以用keep pace with(与同步)或catch up with(赶上步伐)。 Every year
